Gigantic weight loss - anyone?

[CatherineCawood]

I follow a few facebook pages and all the time I'm seeing people with MASSIVE and I mean massive weight losses in really short times.

8 stone in 10 months, 6 stone in 6 months etc. WFT? How?! I imagine if you have 8 stone to loose it comes off pretty quick to start, I have 6 to loose myself (3.5 stone down in a year) but how the heck are these people doing it?

Just found one person, 3 stone lost since May to now, so about 15 weeks, so I suppose that is actually 2.2 lbs a week. Don't these people ever gain though or have lives to live?

#jealous !!!!

I lost 3st in 25 weeks. It's slowed right down. I often go 😮 at how much some people seem to lose on FB.

That's doable obviously, as they've done it! I play the long game tbh, I've made changes that I feel are sustainable long term. So my loss is pretty slow, but I'm hoping I won't put it all back on!

I do wonder it's taken me since January to lose 2.5stone. Weight loss isn't even the hardest part it's meeting your goal then maintaining that's the real challenge

I lost 2 stone in 2 months once, not on SW but on a vegan and no sugar diet. Obviously totally unsustainable to stick to so as soon as I relaxed a bit it all came piling back on. Don't worry, slow and steady and it'll come off eventually.

When i first joined in oct 2015 i lost 6 stone in the first year. But taken me nearly another year to lose another two stone so all together now im 8 stone down. Few more to go. But i still have treats all the way through it.
